Pumpkin Bread Pudding for Two

Lately I've seen a bunch of recipes for pumpkin stuff, I mean hello! Thanksgiving is next week!

And while I do love me some pumpkin pie I'm trying to keep things healthy so I wanted to figure out some kind of dessert that combined the taste of pumpkin with something that wasn't crazy bad for you.

So that's where bread pudding came in...

Dairy-Free Pumpkin Bread Pudding

For Two

Serves two...obviously

Ingredients:

2 slices of day old whole wheat bread

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/8 cup dark brown sugar

1/2 tablespoon pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup!)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling!)

1/8 cup raisins

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

How do I make it?

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. If you haven't let the bread sit out over night, pop it in the oven to toast up a little bit. If you did, skip the toasting and cube the bread.

3. Mix the wet ingredients together in a bowl. Add raisins and mix together. Add bread and fold gently to coat all the pieces. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to soak up some of the liquid.

4. Scoop bread into a ramekin (or two whatever you want) and bake for 35-40 minutes. The top will be a little crispy and the middle will be a little gooey. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

How was it?

It was aaaaamazing! The bread had a creaminess to itthat reminded me of pumpkin pie with just a little crispiness from the top. The raisins had a nice little burst with each bite. I highly recommend you go make it and eat it for Thanksgiving...or anytime you feel like it.
